Patrick Allen is the acting administrator of BCD

As many of you have already heard, the Governor
appointed BCD Administrator Mark Long last week to serve as acting
director for the Department of Energy (ODOE) effective May 18.
In his absence, DCBS Director Cory Streisinger has asked BCD's
Deputy Administrator Patrick Allen to serve as acting administrator.
Allen has been BCD's deputy administrator for two years.

Mr. Allen looks forward to continuing the division's projects
including its efforts in promoting green building and implementing
the statewide electronic permitting system. These staff changes
will benefit the state by creating a greater synergy between ODOE
and BCD who share the common goal of promoting energy efficiency
in Oregon. Administrator Allen welcomes your questions and can
be reached at 503-378-2872 or patrick.allen@state.or.us.
